Genetic sonography
What is it?
Genetic sonography is an ultrasound examination that is usually performed during the 11th and 13th weeks in order, in addition to measuring nuchal fold thickness, to observe other chromosome abnormality markers, such as an absent nasal bone, mandibular hypoplasia and tricuspid insufficiency.
Useful information
Genetic sonography can be used as a routine complement to the combined test or when the outcome of the combined test, a nuchal translucency test or a simple double marker test is ambiguous.
